What's The Buzz?
The popularity of scalp treatments in the sauna is skyrocketing as beauty enthusiasts and wellness gurus alike discover the transformative benefits of this dynamic duo. According to the Modena Hair Institute, "an additional benefit of saunas is that they increase blood flow to the skin. Increased blood flow to the skin also means to the hair follicles. Blood is known as a transporter, meaning it carries nutrients we need such as oxygen and minerals. When there is more blood flowing to our skin and hair providing the nutrients our bodies are craving, we see an increase in hair growth."
This trend has been embraced by influencers and hair care experts who praise the enhanced absorption and increased circulation that a sauna session provides, making it a favourite among those looking to elevate their self-care rituals.
The Magic of Scalp Oil Treatments
Scalp oil treatments can do wonders, like:
- Hydration: Oils soak into your scalp and hair, providing the moisture they need to stay healthy.
- Nourishment: They’re packed with vitamins and nutrients that make your hair stronger and healthier.
- Improved Blood Circulation: Massaging the oil into your scalp gets the blood flowing, delivering nutrients right to your hair follicles.
The Sauna Effect
Mixing a sauna session with your scalp oil routine cranks the heat up to a whole new level. Here’s why:
First, the humidity in the sauna opens up your hair follicles, allowing the oil to penetrate deeply and work more effectively. When you step into a sauna, the combination of heat and steam creates an optimal environment for your scalp and hair. The elevated temperature causes your pores to expand, which means that any nourishing products applied to your scalp can seep in more easily and reach the hair roots.
Pro Tip: Apply a nourishing scalp oil like the STRAAND Crown Companion Pre-Wash Scalp Oil to protect the skin barrier and boost hydration.
The sauna’s heat also naturally stimulates blood flow, giving your scalp a revitalising boost. When you expose your scalp to the warmth of a sauna, the blood vessels expand, allowing for increased circulation. This enhanced blood flow brings more oxygen and essential nutrients to your hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth and a more nourished scalp.
To really crank things up, try a massage using a scalp brush during your sauna session. A gentle scalp massage not only feels incredibly relaxing but also amplifies the benefits of the heat. By using a silicone exfoliating brush, you can effectively stimulate your scalp, exfoliate dead skin cells, and distribute the natural oils more evenly.
This combination of heat and massage can improve scalp health, reduce dandruff, and potentially encourage hair growth. It’s like giving your scalp a double dose of TLC, ensuring that every moment in the sauna is not just a step in your relaxation routine, but also a powerful treatment for your hair.
Finally, the warm, tranquil environment of a sauna is the perfect place to unwind and pamper yourself. Imagine melting away stress while treating your scalp to some much-needed TLC. Relaxation + beauty, say less.
As Sophie Jordan, aka Aussie Rapunzel, with her 1.5 million followers, puts it: “Hot girls do scalp care whilst they sauna.”
Why Sophie Loves It...
Sophie Jordan, our favorite Aussie Rapunzel, commented on her experience using Scalp Oil in the sauna. She dove headfirst into the steamy world of sauna hair care and came out with some pretty impressive results.
Sophie exclaimed that the heated sauna worked wonders in maximising the benefits of the STRAAND Crown Companion Oil. She said it was like giving her scalp a 'hot date' with hydration and nourishment.
She attended the Nimbus x STRAAND partnership event and experienced the full benefits during a Nimbus contrast therapy appointment. In the Contrast Therapy Suites, she moved between their state-of-the-art infrared sauna and the ice bath. Taking her scalp oil along, Sophie was able to fully enjoy the enhanced effects of the treatment at the most vibey sauna in town.
Here's what she said:
"I feel like the heated sauna maximised the benefits of the STRAAND Crown Companion Pre-Wash Oil. After only 15 minutes in the sauna, my scalp felt hydrated and super tingly from blood flow which is a great sign of potential hair growth. It was also the perfect way to relax whilst contributing to my beauty routine."
Sophie’s experience really shows how awesome this combo can be—hydration, circulation, and a bit of relaxation all in one go.
Do It At Home
For those of us who can’t just pop into a sauna, don’t fret—you can still bring the spa vibes to your home with a few clever hacks. Start by giving your scalp a luxurious massage with your chosen scalp oil. Next, take a microfibre hair towel, soak it in hot water, and wring out the excess. Wrap it around your head like a chic turban and let the warmth work its magic.
The heat will open up your hair follicles, letting the oil dive deep for maximum nourishment. Leave the towel on for 15-20 minutes to recreate that steamy sauna bliss. For an extra twist, alternate between your cozy warm towel and a refreshing cool rinse to mimic contrast therapy, giving your scalp a revitalizing wake-up call. This DIY trick is your ticket to a spa day at home, proving you don’t need a sauna to spoil your scalp.
